In a recent interview with Dan Patrick, Sam said that he had absolutely no regrets about coming out but believes that if he hadn’t he might be on an NFL roster today: “I’m not going to say …

but it probably would have been better for me if I didn’t come out, I would be on a roster.

But, as I said, I have no regrets whatsoever.” Sam also defended his kiss with Vito Cammisano when he was drafted: “I came out for a reason.

I came out because I didn’t want to hide anything about my life anymore…it’s a historic moment and I want everyone to see that historic moment…If someone who is straight comes on and kiss their girlfriend, why can’t I do the same?
